Getting someone else's e-mails

For the past month I have been getting someone else's e-mails. It started with a warning that my account would be shut down if I didn't pay; then I got thank yous for renting two movies that I didn't rent. Now I have been told after several warnings that my account is good. I have contacted Verison three times to resolve the issue. All three times I was told that my two accounts were current and ignore. However, I am still getting someone else's e-mails. Evidently this is beyond Verizon's ability to fix - they cannot do a search on a particular e-mail and see what shows up. I am quite frustrated by this and there is someone else who is not getting his/her e-mails. Any suggestions other than simply ignore?

Can't give you advice, but will tell you I went though and still go through the same thing. Someone has an email that is similar to mine and I get all their personal emails, tax info, when they were buying a house, I emailed the people once I dug through and found the actual email, Verizon said there was nothing they could do. All I do now, is delete them as they come in. Its irritating though.

TS3276 Why am I getting someone else's email in icloud acct?

I am getting someone else's email at my icloud.com account . This person has same email as me. Emails are all UK based

It is most likely that they have either mistyped their address or have somehow got the notion that your address is actually their address (inexperienced people do sometimes do this sort of thing).
Since you can't contact them (as you would just get the message back) I can only suggest responding to a suitable message to them and asking the sender if they can contact this person by another method and explain their error. As you have their credit card number possibly you could identify the card issuer (you could ask your bank - the first four digits would identify it) and contact them.
I don't think, given your description, that this is likely to be a phishing attempt.

I'm getting someone else's personal notes on my iPhone. How do I stop this?

I'm getting someone else's personal notes on my iPhone. How do I stop this?
I don't share my account with anyone. In my iPhone settings>iCloud>Notes is turned off. I checked my computer's iCloud notes and none of the other person's notes are on there. What am I suppose to do?

Sign out of iTunes & App Store and sign in with the correct Apple ID.

I keep getting someone else's photos in my photo stream and can't delete them directly

Hi !
I noticed lately that I keep getting pics of someone else in my photo stream. I thought maybe that someone hacked into my cloud so I disabled it and the share feature for photos. This isn't the first time this happens, I used to get pics from this person before and then it stopped. I also changed my ID and password just in case, but I still don't know where this is coming from. I'm afraid that they might have been getting some of my pics too :S

Just as an interesting follow-up, I contacted Apple's technical support line to try to inform them of this privacy violation (i.e. That I've received photos of some guy's kids on my phone) and was told that they couldn't help me because I didn't have tech support coverage. I could, however, purchase said coverage for $60 or $70. I explained that I wasn't having a technical issue with my phone, but rather there was a back-end issue. I asked why I should pay to have them deal with a problem on their end, and a problem that is actually affecting someone else, since it's his photos that are getting broadcast. The Apple tech couldn't supply an answer to that. He did suggest that I change my password, though I can't imagine the issue is that some guy hacked my account so he could upload pictures of his family playing in the backyard or him attending a football game.

I can't get someone else to store pick up a Dell notebook on checkout!

Hi folks, i'd like to ask if some1 knows why there is no option "Someone else will pick up this item" at the checkout of my Dell notebook (I17RSE-1282BK).
Are there any products that need the account owner to get it? Or it's just some kind of bug from the site?
Thank you.

any last ditch suggestions before I throw it through a window?
Open the window before throwing.
Most likely this won't work but you've tried everything else and it can't hurt... try an iPhone reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings. Might need to hold the buttons longer to get the logo.
Sorry, if DFU mode doesn't work, I don't know what else to try. Maybe another computer?

How do i get someone else out of my apple id?

Hi guys, im using an iphone 4 to play this game Clash of Clans and recently, when i'm playing the game, i get the notification that someone else is playing which means that he has access to my apple id. Due to that im very frustrated and helpless... can anyone help me to solve the problem as in like get that guy out of my apple id?

It will prevent it from happening in the future.
Seems that both of her contacts and yours mixed as hers were on her phone and then iCloud synched both phones and melded them into one.
You will have to delete them manually. Sorry there is no other way of doing thiis. BEFORE aany of you delete any contacts:
1). Have her get her Apple ID. Have her sign OUT of your account. She should then sign in to he new account She can then delete the contacts she doesnt want.
2) You sHould turn off iCloud synching. Delete unwanted contacts, then turn on iCloud again.
Remember.: while you are both using the same account, any changes made on one device will be reflected on the other device.

Receiving someone else's scam mail?

Got the FBI scammers email item with attachment, responded as well as bounced it and got the non delivery message etc but soon later get a couple more different odd emails with the same? attachment. Then notice that all of them weren't even addressed to me. What gives?
PB 12 G4 Mac OS X (10.2.x)

This is very typical behavior of a Windows-type e-mail worm/virus/trojan/etc.
Malicious users will do just about anything to try to get you to open an attachment (which often contains malware), so they'll make the e-mail look like it came from the FBI, a friend of yours, your boss, etc...
Another common tactic is the "Delivery Failure" message, which makes it look like a message you sent (but didn't really send) couldn't reach its destination, so you receive a Delivery Failre report. The Delivery Failure message often contains a malware attachment as well.
These types of messages are common because its pretty smple to spoof your e-mail address and just about anyone can send out e-mail and make it look like it came from you.
Just ignore the messages, and don't ever respond to them, or open attachments. Even though it is VERY UNLIKELY that any attachment could harm your Mac, it is still best to just delete the junk mail, and move on.

Getting someone else's google search history?

Hello, I'm receiving my friend's google search history on my iPhone. The problem started about two weeks ago, when she bought one, and because she couldn't get an apple ID right away, I gave her mine to download some apps, and logged out. When the search history first appeared on my device I realized it was hers, so I changed my apple id password (i guessed that could be the problem). That did not work, I'm still receiving the webs she visits, which I find so annoying. Also, I feel like i'm invading her privacy. I've seen other people have had this problem before, but I have not find out the reason, how can I solve this problem? Thank you! (We are both using Iphone 5s and have the latest iOS)

When she had access to internet, she created her apple ID, and she asked for my email adress to set it as an alternate address to recover her password in case she lost it. I didn't verified her account when I received the mail from apple.

How do I get someone els off of my Apple ID that I let use to download apps

My gf had to restor her iPhone and when she did it made her make a new Apple ID and I just let her use mine. When ios7 came out when she signed into my Apple ID on her phone it like combined are contacts and I can see all her texts how do I fix

It will prevent it from happening in the future.

I am getting someone else's iMessage conversations

I am getting two people that I have no idea who they are carrying on conversations though my iMessage. So I can see there entire conversation, yet I have no idea who these people are. This has happened to me several times now. With different people each time. This just started since I upgraded to iOS 8 on an iPhone 5S. Does anybody have a fix or know whats going on.

How would someone else's notes be shared on my iPad when they are not synced with my device?

Hi -
I have a brand-new iPad and am suddenly getting someone else's notes showing up on my computer. It is coming from my daughter's phone, I believe. Our accounts and computers are in no way connected. The strange thing is that the notes are from 2011 and 2012. I don't know if she has more current ones than that.
Can anyone tell me how this might happen? And how to make it stop?
Thanks very much!

Thanks, FromSouth -
I called Apple Support and they also said that she has to have access to my iCloud account. We did figure out that some of the notes from 2011 and 2012 are from a shared business account which also allows notes, but that is a Verizon account and should not impact, in any way, shape, or form, the iCloud account.
I do not believe my daughter actually did this; I am guessing that her iCloud account was also accessed by her husband (who is not a good guy), and he, without her knowledge, synced her iCloud to his iPhone to track all her stuff. I then believe he got hold of mine and did the same a couple of days ago, as we are all together for a large family vacation (in the same house).
I guess I have a couple more questions about this, though:
Normally, when you sync a new device with your account, you get a message on all your old devices - but I did not get anything of the kind. How would this be possible? I guess maybe if he synced it while standing there with my iPad, then my iPad would get an alert, and he would just turn it off?? (I know all this sounds excessive, but believe me, he'd go to this length.)
I find it difficult to believe that he could have cracked my iCloud password - it's not something that anyone would ever put together easily. How would he be able to access the account without a password? Is there any kind of app or software that he could have installed on my iPad that would allow that? (Again, believe me, he'd do it.)
Is there any way to see in iCloud what devices are linked to the account? That alone would show me what device has this.
Finally, I have my iPad password-protected, so I cannot imagine he would have gotten into my iPad in the first place...how would he have gained access to this otherwise? I really thought I was being very smart on how I set this all up, and two days in the same location as him and now this....
I really thank you for any help you can give me on this one...
Thanks!
